1. Calling you on the phone does not mean what you think it means.
-In other words, for a guy, it's just a phone call, not a confession of undying love. Hell-low?
2. You are much prettier without all that makeup.
-Boy can't complain about it enough. Sure, they all like pretty girls, but they also have a problem with a face that looks full-on painted. And what looks painted to a guy is far less than what you might think. Duh.. >.<>
3. When you act spazzy and giggly, ifs seriously embarrassing.
-We're not here to tell you how to act. Just tuck it in the back of your mind that all the boys we surveyed agree that girls could mellow out a little. Let's have a round of baby-claps for that, please.
4. Gossiping, whispering and writing notes makes y on look beyond shallow.
-Knowledge is power People talk about other people. That's life. But there is a big difference between gossip and character assassinations. Not to mention, it's bad form to let anyone believe you're saying negative things about him. So, sorry to get all motherly on you, but if you absolutely must exchange information, be cool about the notes and discreet about the whispering. Oh, and do be sure that the "information" isn't going to hurt someone's feelings, OK?OK?OK?
5. Boys worry about what you think of their hair, skin, weight and clothes.
-Guys totally think about their appearance even if they don't say it out loud.
6. PMS (special time of the month) is no excuse to he mean.
-So, you're pained? Look, face it--the hormones that go with menstruating affect moods and, yeah, sometimes make a girl mean as a hungry dog. But barking at a boy because you don't feel well? Just deal the best you can by taking care of yourself. This includes not totally indulging in caffeine, sugar or greasy foods--all three aggravate physical and emotional symptoms. Get plenty of sleep, drink loads of water, and take lots of warm baths--yes, even in the afternoon when you get home from school. Soaking in bubbles while daydreaming is an on-your-period girl's best friend.
7. Talking about your "big" butt is so boring.
-Whether you're questioning a guy friend for his honest opinion or fishing for a compliment from a guy you like, asking about your body is a no-win situation. You're just putting the guy on the spot. And, guess what--if a boy likes you, he likes you for the way you are right now, this second.
8. Tight clothes look uncomfortable, cheap, and sort of desperate and insecure.
-If you overheard a boy say about you, "I want to go out with her because she has great cleavage and I can see part of her butt every day in her short shorts," would you be offended or flattered? Hint: Be offended!
9. Most boys are looking for the right girl.
-One thing that is abundantly clear is that boys think girls are way too into finding a BF. "Do girls want any guy or the right guy?" Sending signals is good because some boys are shy just as some girls are shy. But check to see if you and your girls are overdoing it. Do you constantly discuss guys? Is who-likes-who the topic du jour, every jour? If so, pull back a bit, at least around the guys. This way they'll be able to see what's really important to you: makeup (kidding!).
10. If you like him, just tell him.
-OK, just telling a guy you like him isn't as easy as it sounds. But all the guys agreed on this one, which means it should work. Courage to be honest? You can do it. \(^.^)/
